You won't need fans, as we have several in the house and ceiling fans. The guest casita does have air conditioning. The phone lines are working. To call the states, just dial 115 to connect to an operator for credit card or any international call. Really miss being there, but have to wait until August. Really hope you enjoy the house and island as much as we do. I mentioned B.C.s to you, but it is kind of fun to stroll up to Victoria House in the afternoon and have a drink, play backgammon and just hang out, it is a lovely place. For a special evening check out Capricorn, need reservations. Mary can tell you what you need to know. Enjoy, Judy
